Enugu Man Arrested for Murder of 19-Year-Old Cousin Days After She Reported Him for Sexual Abuse
The Enugu State Police Command has arrested 51-year-old Emeka Emmanuel Nwangwu for the brutal murder of his 19-year-old cousin, Loveth Uloma Nwangwu, just days after she reported him for years of sexual abuse, abduction, and threats to her life. Police spokesperson SP Daniel Ndukwe confirmed the arrest, describing the incident as a tragic and gruesome crime that occurred in Nsukka during the yuletide season.
Loveth had lodged a complaint on November 28, recounting how she lived with the suspect since age 13, enduring repeated abuse and forced confinement. Despite initially fleeing, she was allegedly abducted again by the suspect, who threatened her with a firearm. After reporting the matter to police and undergoing medical examination, her family opted not to pursue charges immediately due to cultural considerations.
However, the situation turned fatal when the suspect stormed a pharmacy where Loveth was receiving treatment and violently attacked her, smashing her head on the floor. She died at the hospital shortly after. The suspect was immediately rearrested and is now in police custody. Commissioner of Police Mamman Bitrus Giwa condemned the incident and ordered a swift, thorough investigation by the State CID, promising that justice will be served.
The killing has shocked Nsukka residents, who are grappling with the disturbing details of prolonged abuse and the violent nature of the attack.
